Hi.

I am wondering if somebody could suggest a server board.
This will be a high traffic video server for an Internet site. So
far, all the other boards in the network are ASUS/AMD but
I am open to alternatives if there is a clear winner out there.
I am using Windows Server 2003.

I called ASUS. They recommended the below board:

Do you agree?

Thanks.

Hello,

i would stay on famous brand about network card. Marvell doesn't seem the
top for me, i would better bet on intel & Broadcom.

Are you going to :
-make network team
-encode video or just stream ?
-tag packet (vlan / 802.1P ..)

What is "high" for you ? You may want netword TCP/IP card offload:

Does you switch / network support jumbo frames ?
